Over the past few years, hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised through crowdfunding for business start-ups and expansions, independent film productions and countless charities. In fact, we even have a few local Upstate businesses that made their initial launch on crowdfunding sites, so it is definitely a fantastic way to earn some quick cash.
Then again, there should be flashing red lights on those types of sites with the words “We Don’t Help You At All!” in a Times New Roman sixty point font. Because the truth of the matter is that Crowdfunding is all about the initial efforts you invest into a campaign…and it takes a whole lot of time and effort to reach your funding goals.
Now, I’m not saying that to scare you. Well, okay, maybe a little bit.
The point here is that a good crowdfunding campaign is made or lost about two weeks before the first donation ever arrives. You’ll need to work social media and your email lists like a true champion to build up that initial momentum that every good campaign needs, and there are dozens of other factors that have to be met as well.
At Upstate Synergy, we want your crowdfunding efforts to become successful. So if you need any help, then just ask us, and we can make sure that you’re 100% ready before launch to maximize your campaign’s success. We’ve assisted in dozens of successful crowdfunding campaigns and we will happily pitch in as little or as much as you need.
